Big Green Beats: Inside the Beats With North Carolina's Becky Lynch

You've always wondered what the players on the big stages in lacrosse listen to — well wonder no more.
Former Dartmouth and Duke middie Jon Livadas and his crew at Big Green Beats are pumping out exclusive interviews with the players and the music playlists that they are listening to right before they gear up and head out to the field.

This week's "Inside the Beats" features North Carolina attacker Becky Lynch.

5) Would you rather be the biggest DJ in the world today or the lead singer for the biggest rock band in the world in the 80’s/90’s?
Totally the lead singer for the biggest rock band in the 80’s/90’s! But then, I’m sure if my songs were total hits, I could get some DJ star like Avicii to do a few sick covers!

6) What are your favorite genres? How has your music taste developed over your lacrosse career?
My dad told me one time that there are only two types of music: Good and Bad. There is definitely a lot of truth to that, but I would say that my current favorite genres are rock, hip-hop, and country. I wasn’t a big fan of country until I came to school in North Carolina, but it has absolutely grown on me.

7) Is there an artist or band that mimics your style of play or is your counterpart in the music world? On top of that, what genre best describes your style?
Tough question! I think that the idea of a mash up remix, like one’s done by The White Panda or DJ Audacity Remix could possibly mimic the way I play. Trying to make the best of every second I have and fill it with good stuff!

8) If one song could come on when you entered a room what would it be?
Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall- Coldplay – I love this song!!

8) If you could mash up 3 songs into one what would you choose?
American Girl- Tom Petty , Fade into Darkness- Avicii, How to Love- Lil Wayne

10) What songs are popular right now in the locker room? Who claims to be the team DJ? More importantly, who actually is the team DJ?
Some current hits are Wild Ones- Flo Rida, Starships- Nicki Minaj, What Makes You Beautiful- One Direction. Zimm [Laura Zimmerman] and I are the team DJ’s and nobody tries to steal the title when it comes to the locker room warm-ups.

11) who has the worst taste in music taste on the team? Who has the best (besides you)? Why?
I wouldn’t say worst but I think that Margaret Corzel gets ripped on the most for her music choices, even though she is the one who introduced the song Call Me Maybe to the team before it became a hit. And I think that Zimm’s taste in music is great! That’s why we work so well together when making mixes for the team, we usually don’t disappoint anyone.

12) What are a few songs that headline your team’s warm up mix? And who is left in charge with the monumental decision of what goes on the warm up mix?
Crazy Train- Ozzy Osbourne , Fade Into Darkness – Avicii, and We Found Love – Rihanna are our headlined songs. Zimm and I are the makers/deciding factors to what makes the cut.

13) Usually each year a team develops an “anthem” that seems to get played after big wins or in times of need. What is your teams “anthem” right now?
Drake & Diane: The White Panda – The classic vs. Drake is awesome.

14) What is the best live show you have ever attended? If you could attend any show or music event what would it be?
Pearl Jam at the Tweeter Center outside of Philly was the best live show I’ve seen. Avicii in NYC on New Year’s Eve was also pretty high up there. I’ve been to a ton of awesome events in NY also but I would love to get to Bonnaroo at some point in the future.

15) How or where do you find new music? (you don’t have to say BGB but if that’s the truth than run with it)
I love using Hypem.com to find new music! It’s like a giant database for all songs that are posted to music blogs. When I’m trying to find new pump up music I head to fistintheair.com or soundabovetheseal.com. I’ve been checking out BCB lately and it is incredible.
